the things we do for love

While the rest of you are scratching your heads, I’m beaming in the corner.

What I mean is, given a little push in the right direction, I’ve decided I should get on with actually providing you with a way to contact me (beyond just leaving a comment on a post). So now, on my about page, you’ll find a brand new contact form.

What I’m so chuffed about is that, in order to create the form, I had to do all sorts of fun things within brackets and involving equals signs and 1s and 0s.

Okay, that’s an exaggeration. I clicked an “Add Contact Form” button in WordPress and they created it for me. But then I got to see the coding before I hit publish, so that sort of counts, right?

Anyway, the point is that you can now have your streams of conciousness delivered directly to my email inbox (which, as any millennial knows, might as well be directly to my brain). Because I love you.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time until combined.
In a small glass or bowl, stir hot water and baking soda. Add to butter mixture along with vanilla, and mix well.
Sift in flours and stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop by large spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheets, and then sprinkle with a small amount of flaked sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are browning and the cookies look done.
